About Maasai Mara National Reserve
Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, located in southwestern Kenya along the border with Tanzania. It forms part of the greater Serengeti ecosystem and is world-renowned for its vast open savannahs, abundant wildlife, and exceptional game viewing throughout the year.
The reserve is famous for hosting the spectacular Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross from the Serengeti National Park into the Mara in search of greener pastures, often facing dramatic river crossings along the Mara River. This natural phenomenon is considered one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth.
Maasai Mara National Reserve is also home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as cheetahs and a wide variety of plains game. Cultural visits to the Maasai communities offer insight into their traditional way of life. With its breathtaking landscapes and unrivaled wildlife encounters, the reserve delivers a truly unforgettable safari experience.
